As we’ve discussed before, these resources are difficult to access and extract – and this has changed the technology and skills required by the industry. This includes how we process and transport oil and gas in Canada and abroad. The result? The industry now requires process operators to handle the new product flowing through our pipelines and processing plants.

Considering a career in the oil and gas industry? Once activity picks up again – and it will – process operator might be the career option for you!
